Terre di Ger winery arose from Mr Gianni Spinazzè’s passion for viticulture: since he was a child he used to walk around the vineyards his family was growing as sharecroppers for Belussi estate in Treviso area. During the Sixties, Mr Gianni started manufacturing concrete poles in order to provide better support to the “Belussere” vineyards in Piave river basin in Northern Italy. Since then Spinazzè group has become one of the most important manufacturing companies in the grape-wine and fruit business worldwide.

The first vineyard was planted in 1975, using typical native grape varieties. This starting point came out of passion more than personal interest, a sort of hobby, a personal diversion from the pole manufacturing business and a way to keep ties to the land and to his origins. In the Eighties and Nineties, Gianni, fueled by his passion for Friuli, its “cappuccina style” vineyards, and refined wines, decided to start a business in this land, in the village of Frattina around the Pordenone area. In the Eighties and Nineties  the wine-making process started to deliver the very first “Podere del Ger” labels which later became “Terre di Ger” thanks to the acquisition of new land and vineyards.
